If you offer a Software as a Service (SaaS) application to many organizations, you can configure your application to accept sign-ins from any Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant. This configuration is called making your application multi-tenant. Users in any Azure AD tenant will be able to sign in to your application after consenting to use their account with your application. See how to [enable multitenant sign-ins](../develop/howto-convert-app-to-be-multi-tenant.md).

A multi-tenant organization is an organization that has more than one instance of Azure AD. There are various reasons for [multi-tenancy](https://review.learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/multi-tenant-organizations/overview?branch=pr-en-us-209054#what-is-a-multi-tenant-organization), like using multiple clouds or having multiple geographical boundaries. Multi-tenant organizations use a one-way synchronization service in Azure AD, called [cross-tenant synchronization](https://review.learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/multi-tenant-organizations/cross-tenant-synchronization-overview?branch=pr-en-us-209054). Cross-tenant synchronization enables seamless collaboration for a multi-tenant organization, improves user experience and ensures that users can access resources, without receiving an invitation email and having to accept a consent prompt in each tenant. Cross-tenant synchronization is currently in PREVIEW.
